Arokast FT Flash Tablet 4 mg contains Montelukast Sodium, a leukotriene receptor antagonist used for the management of asthma and allergic rhinitis, especially in pediatric patients. The Flash (FT) formulation is designed to dissolve quickly in the mouth without water, making it convenient and easy to administer for children.
Montelukast works by blocking leukotrienes—chemical mediators responsible for inflammation, airway narrowing, mucus production, and allergy symptoms. By inhibiting these substances, Arokast FT Flash Tablet helps improve breathing, reduce wheezing, and control allergy-related symptoms effectively.
This medication is used as a maintenance therapy and should not be used for the immediate relief of acute asthma attacks.
